Here We Go Again
With the collapse of the Soviet Union the rest of the world breathed a collective sigh of relief. The race for nuclear arms and who can blow us all up more times than the other guy was over.
No one paid too much attention to India and Pakistan and Company as they became nuclear powers. I guess we all figured they had enough sense not to blow up the planet.
But here we go again.
Iran is saber rattling to gain nuclear power and we're all assuming they want weapons, not just power plants. And maybe that is the case but while the whole world is watching them and contemplating this and that sanction North Korea is testing missiles.
Yup. We seem to have another arms race going on. Smaller true, but no less deadly.
Have you noticed though that over the last few years the minute we're busy dealing with something else North Korea acts up? Seriously, think about it. In the years since September 11th whenever North Korea does something to get the world's attention it has been when everyone has been dealing with something else.
So are they trying to sneak a little something by when no one is watching? Or are they making noise so that they won't be ignored? Either way they are beginning to seem like a spoiled child who wants attention. A spoiled child with very dangerous toys.
